Western Balkan Explorer Tour “Blue Route”
Overview
Mention the Balkans to anyone and it can conjure up a plethora of images -flashpoint of the First World War, the atrocities of the recent civil war, Tito’s and Hoxha’s Communist dictatorships. Look beyond these clichéd stereotypes on our one week trip through three Western Balkan countries - Albania, Montenegro, Croatia Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo.
